Answer:
$45.6
Explanation:
1. We assume, that the number 5700 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 5700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5700=100%
2) x=0.8%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
5700/x=100%/0.8%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 0.8% of 5700
5700/x=100/0.8
(5700/x)*x=(100/0.8)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5700=125*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (125) to get x
5700/125=x
45.6=x
x=45.6
